Tree
Fellers is the story of the 900 Belizean lumberjacks who in 1942 left
the tropical rainforests of British Honduras to help Britain fight
fascism by felling trees in Scotland. Sam (93), Eric (87) and Amos
(86) were among those who stayed on after the war to make new lives
in a country where, for better or worse, the colour of their skin
marked them out.
Newly discovered archive, long cherished memories and a last reunion
are intertwined in this lyrical and moving documentary testament.
